Infused with minerals and emollients to condition
skin and make blending easy. Oil-free. Water, perspiration and
humidity-resistant.

So, not wanting to risk an online purchase, I took
a trip to Boots and on the recommendation of the sales assistant purchased the
shade Light Medium to conceal redness. So far I’m impressed with the colour
match and after testing it in store it still hasn’t budged a good 9 hours
later. For me, this can only be a good thing. Gone are the days of your face
melting off by lunchtime, nobody wants to leave the house looking like
Cinderella and returning at the end of the day as the ugly step sister.

The dofer applicator makes life a little easier
during the application process, for hygiene reasons I tend to apply the concealer
to the back of my hand first and then use my ring finger to warm the product up
and blend out onto the skin. The concealer does blend well, but you need to
work quickly as once it sets, it’s not going anywhere. It is also quite thick in
consistency and if you’re not careful I think this could result in it looking
quite cakey on the skin. However, if applied with a light hand, the concealer
does the trick at covering redness and imperfections. As well as this, it also
contains SPF 10, so on lazy days a swipe of concealer in replace of a full
foundation routine and your good to go.

Pros

Once set, will not budge
